Question

35. Twe towers AB and CD are situated at a distance \( d \) apart. AB is 20 m high and CD is 30 m high from the ground. An object of mass \( m \) is thrown from the top of \( A B \) horizontally with a velocity of \( 10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) towards \( C D \). Simultaneously, another object of mass 2 m is thrown from the top of CD at an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \) to the horizontal towards AB with same magnitude of initial velocity as that of the object. The two objects move in the same vertical plane, collide in mid air and stick to each other. (i) Calculate the distance \( d \) between the towers and (ii) find the position where the objects hit the ground.

from-top-of-a-tall-building-object-a-was-dropped-at-t0-and-object-b-was-thrown-down-at-t2-s-with-a-v

From top of a tall building, object A was dropped at $t=0$ and object $B$ was thrown down at $t=2 s$ with a velocity of $40 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. From a spot on the ground vertically down, object $\mathrm{C}$ was thrown up at $\mathrm{t}=1 \mathrm{~s}$ with a velocity of $30 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. All three objects collide. What was the height of the building? $\left(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\right)$

Two stones are initially separated by a vertical distance y (in meters) from each other. One stone is thrown downward with an initial velocity v01= -17 m/s and the other is thrown upward from the ground with an initial velocity v02= 29 m/s at the same time the other is thrown. a.) Part (a) How far, in meters, must the stones be separated so that they will hit the ground at the same time? b.) Part (b) What is the impact velocity, in meters per second, of the first stone? c.) Part (c) What is the impact velocity, in meters per second, of the second stone?

Scenario A time t = 0, clay ball 1 is dropped from rest at the top of a building. At the same time, identical clay ball 2 is launched upward from ground level. At time t = T, the two collide and stick. Just after the collision, the combined object has upward speed v0. At time t = 2T, the combined object is momentarily at rest at the top of the building. PART A: The graph on the left below shows velocity as a function of time, where up is positive. The velocity of the combined object is already drawn for T < t < 2T. Draw and label the following for the interval 0 < t < T. i. The velocity of ball 1 and label the graph "1." ii. The velocity of ball 2 and label the graph "2." iii. The velocity of the center of mass of the two-ball system and label the graph "C." v (m/s) +5v0 +4v0 +3v0 +2v0 +v0 0 -v0 -2v0 T 2T t(s) E +5mgH +4mgH +3mgH +2mgH +mgH 0 -mgH -2mgH T 2T t
